Meaning & Origin

nominative/accusative/vocative plural of ulex

Ulices is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, a Spanish-language form of Ulysses — the Latin name for Odysseus, the legendary hero of Homer's Odyssey. The meaning is uncertain but may derive from a Greek root related to hatred or suffering, or possibly 'to be wrathful.'

Ulices is used primarily within Spanish-speaking communities, where the "-es" ending gives it a Spanish phonetic character. The story of Odysseus/Ulysses — the wandering hero's ten-year journey home after the Trojan War — is one of the foundational narratives of Western literature, giving this name a deep literary and mythological heritage.
